(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Authorizes the majority and minority leaders or their designees, when the Senate is out of session, acting jointly and within the limits of the Constitution, to modify any order for the time or place of the convening of the Senate when, in their opinion, such action is warranted by intervening circumstances.
